Food security in Nigeria has a significant impact on the nation’s development, affecting both economic stability and public health.
Insecurity in key agricultural regions has disrupted food production, leading to shortages and increased prices.
Many farmers, especially in the North, are unable to access their farms due to violence, further limiting food supply.
This has resulted in a growing hunger crisis, with millions facing food insecurity.

The country’s dependence on food imports has also increased, straining the economy.
If left unaddressed, the continued decline in local food production could deepen poverty and malnutrition.
However, with improved security measures and investment in agriculture, Nigeria can boost food production and reduce its reliance on imports, ensuring long-term food security.
